Video: Incredible rain driving

[xracerbob]

I used to love wet races. There are a few tricks to it that at first seem insane but work really well- Since you really can't see you have to look to the side for reference points, brake markers, etc. to know where you are. Also you must listen to the guy in front of you- if he lifts, you better do the same or at least duck out from behind him so you can figure out whats going on. This gets harder if you are in a pack of 6+ cars because everyone is doing the same and nobody is predictable.

The biggest problem comes from the visor fogging up. Rain-x, anti fog, what ever only can do so much. I always cracked my visor some and put a little piece of tape onder it so it wouldn't close all the way. I also jammed some paper towels under one of my legs where it would stay dry so I could use it during the inevitable full course caution.

I've gone about 170 in a steady rain in the "dip" at the old Road Atlanta. That was very interesting.
